Glossary beginning with F

Most addicts and family members seeking help or treatment, know very little in the way of unique terms and phrases connected to addiction treatment and or sobriety.
The Rehab Guide has compiled a unique addiction glossary to help those individuals learn the terms needed to understand mental health, addiction and recovery related terms.

Family and Marital therapists work with families or couples both together and individually to help them improve their communication skills, build on the positive aspects of their relationships, and repair the harmful or negative aspects.

Family Systems therapists work with and view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic.
The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family. Therapists with the MFT credential are usually trained in Family Systems therapy.

"Facilities touri" refers to a tour everybody should participate in before choosing a treatment center, a sober living home or a halfway house.
If the people or organisation that run a facility really care about their patients, and they must to have an effective facility, then their premises are available to preview and the facility will show it.
You are able to see the amount of pride and care an owner puts into a center by the general appearance, cleanliness, and feeling about a facility.
Go with your gut instinct on a facilities tour, and don’t excuse any problems you see. If there are cigarette butts all over the grounds, and the gardens are unkempt, and beds are unmade and there is a messy appearance on your tour, just imagine how bad it would be getting treatment and living there.
Don’t hesitate to move on and look at other facilities that fit your budget.

Family counselingi is a very important and integral part of treatment. If the families fail to understand what makes the patient tick, the right and wrong things to say, and do not adjust to a new life of sobriety with the other family member, it will make life all the more difficult for everybody, and likely lead to continued relapse.

"Family programi" are programs for families to attend, whether that whole family needs treatment, or they simply need an orientation around the member getting better. means that sometimes there are programs for families to attend, whether that whole family needs treatment, or they simply need an orientation around the member getting better.

"Financing loani" is a type of medical loan that is financed by special medical loan companies.
These types of loans can be used in an emergency situation but take care to understand how fast a bill can be run up while one is in treatment.

"Free assessmenti" is something that some clinics offer, but I would be wary of these. If a “free assessment” is nothing more than a written questionnaire with an administrator of counselor, that is not a true assessment. You want a full psychological workup and a medical assessment in order to gain a probable diagnosis that shows the underlying mental problems that led to the addiction in the first place.
